During these proceedings, the YPC choristers will join three eminent, professional choirs from the U.K. France, and Russia in performances of movements from the Requiems by Mozart, Saint Saëns, and Karl Jenkins, with the National Philharmonic Orchestra of Russia, conducted by renowned Maestro Vladimir Spivakov.

YPC’s choristers and Founder/Artistic Director Francisco Núñez are honored to represent the United States on this historic occasion. They will join singers from the Royal Opera House in the U.K., the Opera Garnier/Bastille & Radio France; and the Grand Choir “Masters of Choral Singing” from Russia. Our singers hail from all of New York City’s five boroughs and Long Island, and in keeping with the founding mission of YPC over three decades ago, represent the cultural and economic diversity of America.

In preparation for their performances in the World Holocaust Forum, the singers have not only undertaken rigorous music rehearsals, but to deepen their understanding of the history of the Holocaust, they toured the Museum of Jewish Heritage and met with Holocaust survivor, Ruth Zimbler.
